Michael Bisping, Johnny Hendricks ahead in UFC cover vote contest

EA Sports UFC are down to eight fighters in their search for a new cover star, with the likes of Michael Bisping, Johnny Hendricks and Jose Aldo leading the race.

UFC welterweight champion George St-Pierre still trails adversary Johnny Hendricks in their UFC cover vote contest, 24 hours before the two men collide in Las Vegas for the Canadian's world title.

St-Pierre was pitted against number one contender Hendricks in round two of a public vote launched by EA Sports to find a cover star for their first foray into the Octagon, due for release next spring.

Hendricks has found a new legion of fans to match his knockout power in 2013 and they are helping him stay ahead in the fan vote, with the latest round due to end on November 18.

Eight fighters are still in contention to feature alongside Jon Jones on the front cover of EA Sports UFC, with Britain's leading mixed martial artist Michael Bisping edging former foe Chael Sonnen in a round two meeting between polarising characters.

Elsewhere Anthony Pettis has the lead over Jose Aldo in a clash between lightweight and featherweight champions, while Miesha Tate may miss out on a semi-final spot as she trails Alexander Gustafsson.

Tate, who got the better of archrival and Ultimate Fighter opponent Ronda Rousey in the last round, has two days to turn the tide against the Swedish light-heavyweight contender.
